All terrier breeds were developed to hunt and kill vermin, including badgers, foxes, rats, and mice. The vole, a small rodent also known as a meadow mouse, would be natural prey for any of the terrier group, including the so-called "pit bull" terriers. The Jack Russell breed, although specifically created to bolt the fox from his den, is especially quick and clever at killing mice and rats of all sorts.
